Yong and Dumb

Young and dumb
That’s what they perceive us to be

But when I look in the mirror I see a different identity
 

Me
I see me
I see the person that I want to be

The person that I was
The person that I want to become
 

But you can’t focus on the future if your mindset is not even in the present because you’re still stuck on the past
I want to deal with my past so I can move forward but no one around me wants to move forward
They just want to see me as a color

They see me as a slave
They see me as property
 

I’m more than what you see

I’m not YOUNG AND DUMB  

I just want to be free

I need a new identity
 

You’re not going to kill me on the street because I’m black
Not today
I’m going to pave my way

We’re not a statistic

You can’t treat me like I ain’t shit

I’m sorry that y’all are uncomfortable

But clearly I’m not confrontable

Cuz yall see me as young and dumb

But I see the future that the generation needs

Me
